    Struggle food is such a wierd term. Half the people who use it seem to think “struggle food” is the stuff university students eat. People are calling potatoes stuggle food while Im thinking of the stuff you eat when the potatoes are gone. Under the Hawthorne Tree drinking straight cows blood and tree bark stuff.

      I hate the stigmatization of simple home cooked meals so much. And that’s like half of the the struggle food.

      Then there is monstrosities that seem kind of distasteful but not exactly cheap to make.
